    I bought the game on 10/03 and, as for today(10/16), I was able to play just two times. The servers are always down, then there was a bug introduced with an update which basically prevented the "play" button to load the game. Now blizzard implemented a queue system on pc, and they forgot to patch the console servers, so you can't even connect to bnet servers at all.

    Diablo 2 was a fantastic game, but it came out 21 years ago. The genre has moved on and this reboot offers nothing new for the price of a full game. It just doesn't make sense. Has been published purely to cash in on old IP.

    Given that today's Activision-Blizzard actively despises both its employees and customers, the only thing left it has left to leverage is nostalgia. But even so nice a nostalgia trip as this doesn't long distract from what an awful, craven, greedy corporation pumped it out.

When the player dies they drop all of their loot, gold and gear at the place where they died, and it's better to sign out and back in to have your corpse delivered to you rather than running naked all the way to get your gear. You lose all your stuff including gold. Waste of time and money, stay away and boycott blizzard! Expand

    This game is simply unplayable. The servers are down frequently, and you can’t access your characters offline. There is now a waiting queue to connect to Battle.net, and you’ll spend more of your time waiting to connect than you do actually playing. For a company that has been in software development for decades, this is inexcusable. It’s a sub-minimal effort across the board. Instead ofThis game is simply unplayable.

Instead of investing in servers, they zipper their purses and just have you deal with it. How many games these days have you waiting +25 minutes just for the character select screen?

    When you actually can play, it’s a great time. Which only makes it more infuriating that the majority of time, you can’t due to them cutting corners to save money. Purchase this game if you wish to get ticked off due to not being able to play something you find enjoyable.

    It is an amazing and legendary game with a lot of nostalgic value. The resurrected version looks good. But the performance by Blizzard with the server and patch issues is just unacceptable. Have they not tested anything before rolling it out?

    The game is barely functioning, not even talking about the amount of bugs in the game.
    You don't even have the ability to play since the servers are always unavailable.
    It is obvious that Blizzard didn't want to put any money on resources for this game, hence the terrible servers.

    Diablo 2 Resurrected is fairly good when playable. Unfortunately, Blizzards new boss, Rod Ferguson has taken a few pages from Xbox's 1st Party playbook, and brought it to Diablo 2. Not to mention, Activision's crummy influence. Diablo 2 Resurrected is an incomplete experience right now. Tha KS Rod

    Reviewed on Playstation 5

    Ok, you need to be a hardcore die-hard fan if you are to like this game. It is a remaster, not a remake, so Blizzard has left practically almost everything from the original.
    Having beat Diablo III almost 10 years ago, I felt compelled to try this one as I saw in the videos that it was a little more darker and gothic. But what I saw was a repetitive experience that soon got me stressed out and wanting to put down the controller to keep going.

    SETTING
    You are an adventurer who starts in a camp and then are given several missions that you need to complete in order to move the game. You are set on a quest to understand what happened to Diablo, and from there on is pretty straight forward… you talk to people, you get quests, you kill not hundreds but thousands of enemies in a repetitive way, get loot, sell loot, buy new gear, get more powerful. The old formula could have worked out if it were not for the tediousness of the gameplay

    MECHANICS
    • Combat:
    This is it!
    You either let the button pressed to attack automatically or press the attack button and try to combine your different skills to take down hundreds of enemies. They will overwhelm you, and you will die… you just smash them, run away, get back, and keep repeating the same thing all over again for millions of times.
    You will die a lot in this game, you will lose your gear and you will have to rush back to claim back the lost gear and gold. I mean, this game was released over 20 years ago and at that time, this gameplay mechanic was great, but nowadays it feels just bad… you get the freaking “X” of a hit being missed on your foes all the time… but you enemies will continuously land strikes at their leisure without any issues. That is discouraging and boring!

    • Menu and NPC management:
    Skills are simple and character progression is based on how strong your weapons are. Your stats are really for getting better equipment, not for anything else. Every time you get a level you can upgrade skills, any skill you want from the skill tree. If you want to unlock new skills, you need to keep working on the paths of the skill tree, or just focus on a single specific ability. I went out as a Paladin and the regeneration skill for vitality was my favorite one, but there are plenty.
    In terms of understanding the world, you just do the usual stuff: talk to people, get quests, go to the specific point, kill the enemies and bosses, complete the task, go back and talk to your NPC. Nothing new here, nothing complicated

    • Exploration
    I would love to say is the best part of the game, but the minimalistic inventory management makes you go back to town to either sell goods or store them in your chest. You can easily get your inventory stacked up with the hundreds of enemies coming at you ceaselessly. I did not like the approach of having seas of foes all about you

    VISUALS
    This is one of the strong areas of the game. I like the models, they are darker and grimmer than Diablo III, and that is amazing. Animations are more fluid, and the overall feeling is that all graphics were beautifully enhanced. From the NPCs to the dark caves with very little light, to the blood and guts coming out of foes… the game is gorgeous in the graphic department

    SOUND
    The acoustics in the game are amazing. The music is damn good. I really liked it and now I understand from where the score of Diablo III got its inspiration. Voice acting is well done, and sounds are great. The overall ambient of sounds and music is what kept me going to explore more regardless of the repetitive and boring gameplay.

    FINAL VERDICT:
    My final Verdict is a 5.0 for this game.
    You need to be a hardcore fan of the series to get this game as it is packed with revamped nostalgia, but the overall gameplay is completely outdated, and for mem a casual RPG gamer, I cannot bear to manage the same repetitive cycle over, and over again: kill, loot, sell, buy, improve.
    It did not sell to me… I bought the digital edition, so I cannot ask for a refund, but if you like that sort of gameplay, the visuals and the sounds will get you and you will find yourself immerse in an amazing experience, but this is not my kind of game. It would have been better a remaster rather than a remake

    An epic journey, a legendary game rezurrected anew. With great graphics, quality of life improvements and endless replayability. This title has remained the greatest among many and was still quite popular even up until the re-release 20 years later. Diablo 2 has aged like a fine wine. With a compelling soundtrack, epic story and satisfying progression. A must buy for any ARPG fan.

    It gets a 1 because when it actually works it's great. But since launch there have been countless issues with playing online (the best and only way to play this game in my opinion), and has now reached a point where console players can't actually play the game online at all. Until they fix the servers, which could be quite some time (if at all), do NOT buy the game. It's a waste of money.

    You'll need an internet connection even to play offline. You can loose your progress anytime. You can not refund your purchase. I feel scammed. It's s beta-quality game for a full price.

    A freaking amazing classic game! Every moment on the first playthrough is absolutely unforgetable. Highly recommend.

    While the remaster brings little new to the table other than a fresh coat of paint, cross play and remade cutscenes. Diablo II and its expansion feel as exciting, threatening and as ruthless as ever. The lions share of the quality-of-life improvements are found in the console version, with an excellent use of the controller, added hotkeys and general accessibility. Yet, the remaster does nothing to dumb down or meddle with the overall experience. Instead, for returning players, this is Diablo II as you remember it to be. For new players, while missing a lot of features that most ARPGS have today, there is a lot to love about this aging gem and it is still worth experiencing even decades later.

    Diablo II is one of the best ARPG's in gaming history, and Vicarious Visions haven't made many changes for Diablo II: Resurrected. Visually, there's a stark difference and it looks great while keeping the atmosphere. A few quality of life changes help keep this fresh and make it playable on consoles, but it just doesn't go far enough at points. This ageing master may have had a facelift, and it's one you can have a fantastic time with, but you can hear the creaking of its bones.

    Certainly it's great to see an all time classic enshrined and restored for modern day use. Additionally it opens up the game to exclusively console players that never played the original Diablo 2 on PC. There's no denying its significance in gaming history, and looks wonderfully sharp in 4k, but the age of the source code is evident. Diablo faithfuls will get a great nostalgic kick on the clunky ever-grind that is Diablo 2: Resurrected, but it would be a difficult recommendation for any series newcomers.
